Kakashi sighed. "Just be careful. Using to much chakara could be dangerous." he knew he probably sounded like Naruto's mom but he couldn't bear to lose him. He was the sweetest, most pretty..ugh...he stopped himself he was zoning out again. He shook his head to regain his focus. "Promise you'll be careful?" he looked at Naruto. He snuggled up against Naruto.

Naruto sighed. He knew using too much chakra could be dangerous. Iruka-sensei had told him multiple times during his school years and sometimes even after. But he had plenty of chakra because of the Kyuubi, so he wasn't really worried about it. But he could at least promise Kakashi to help him not worry as much. ".. Yeah.. I promise."

Kakashi smiled now at ease. "good, I'll hold you up to that. Naruto do you like me?" he didn't know why, but he had suddenly wondered if Naruto liked him. Even as a friend or teacher. Naruto had always liked iruka-sensei more than he liked Kakashi. He felt a tiny pan of jelousy.

Naruto nodded without thinking about it. "Of course I like you sensei. If I didn't, you would have known by now. Besides, if I didn't like you, I wouldn't want to be around you. So I would have thrown a fit until I got someone to replace you, which I didn't do." he said.

"Do you like me as much as Iruka-sensei?" he knew it wasn't fair to ask something
Like that but he did anyway. He was feeling very jelous.

Naruto thought for a moment before nodding. "Yeah. To be honest, I probably like you more." he said. He did really like spending time with Iruka, but now that he thought about it, he enjoyed time with Kakashi more.

Kakashi grined very happy to hear Naruto say that. "Why?" if Naruto felt that way why did he? Iruka had Bren the first person to ever care for Naruto. It seemed as though Iruka would earn more favor from him.

Naruto thought for a moment. "Well... Iruka-sensei has always been there for me, but he's always seemed more like a father to me than anything else. You seem more like someone who could be a really good friend for me. Heck, maybe even one of my best friends. So like most teenagers, I like my friends more than my parents." he said, shrugging. There were a few things he wasn't going to add to the list and he wasn't going to say them unless forced.

"o..." Kakashi looked at Naruto. "Do you like me in any other ways?" he was trying to ask if he was attracted to him without saying it.

Naruto was silent for a long moment. Did he like Kakashi in other ways? He never really thought about it before... So he shrugged. "Dunno.. I never really thought about it." he admitted.

"o..ok...do you wanna..I don't know..take a walk or something?" Kakashi knew a good place to go he thought Naruto would like.

Naruto smiled lightly and nodded. "Sure. Why not." he said. Walking seemed to be a good way to clear his mind and hopefully get some of his thoughts sorted out.

Kakashi stood and held the door for Naruto locking it behind them. He took him a back route that went to the training grounds, but he turned off the road before they got there. He lead Naruto to a stream with rocks they could sit on. He removed his shoes and put his feet in the water. It was cool and felt nice. He laid back. "So..what should we talk about?"

Naruto wondered idly where it was that they were going, but decided not to ask about it, figuring he'd found out when they got there. He found it to be a relaxing place and he smiled lightly as he took a seat by Kakashi. He thought for a minute before shrugging. "Dunno. Anything would be fine."

Kakashi proper his head up on one hand and looked at Naruto. He got very serious. He didn't know how he had the courage he felt right now but decided to use it. "Naruto...would you like to go out on a date sometime?" he hoped Naruto understud what he meant. He didn't mean just as friends.

Naruto was silent for a long moment. Kakashi wanted to go on a date with him? Where did that come from? But he had to admit, that did sound like a fun idea... But he knew that if the people in the village knew they were going to be 'dating', that might be bad for Kakashi. He didn't want him to get outcasted because of him. "A date? With me?.... You sure?"

Kakashi nodded "I've always wanted to go on a date with you. I don't really care what anyone else thinks." he hugged Naruto tightly. "I really do love Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm proud to say it."

Naruto smiled lightly, but he still felt kind of uncomfortable. Even though Kakashi said that he didn't care, he can't help but think that he actually did. He didn't want his sensei to be outcasted because of him. But he really wanted to go on this date. So he nodded his head slowly. "Yeah.. Alright. I'll go out with you."

Kakashi smiled. "Good I'll pick you up at your house tommorow at seven pm" he nuzzled into Naruto. He was so warm. Kakashi ran his fingers through Naruto's hair. He vowed to himself that he would not be late tomorrow no matter what. "O, and Naruto, wear the nicest thing you own.

Naruto smiled lightly and nodded. He didn't really own anything nice, but he was sure that he'd have plenty of time to pick something out. After all, he didn't expect Kakashi to actually arrive at 7, so he'd have plenty of time to buy anything he might need.

Kakashi stood. They had been out for a while and it was getting dark. "we'd better be get going. Come on I'll walk you home." Kakashi extended his hand to Naruto.

Naruto really didn't need to have Kakashi walk him home, but he found that he really didn't mind the company. But he hesitated for a moment before setting his hand in Kakashi's.

Kakashi was walking Naruto home and noticed Sakura walking towards them. Her jaw dropped. "K-Kakashi sensei? When did you get back?.....and why are you holding Naruto's hand?" she looked at them confused. Kakashi looked at her for a second before he semester her. "I got back about two days ago and I'm holding Naruto's hand because I'm in love with him." Sakura looked at him funny. "o...hey naruto could I talk to you alone for a second." Sakura had asked him.

A sinking feeling grew in Naruto's stomach when he saw Sakura. Crap. He was hoping that she wouldn't find out that Kakashi was back until tomorrow. He was silent for a second before nodding and going over to her. "Yeah... What's up?"

She looked worried. "Naruto? Are you ok? Has Kakashi lost his mind!? He can't be with you can he? I mean your still a lot younger than him. Is he forcing you?" she had never known Kakashi as violent towards any of his students, but he also never had seemed well.....she didn't know he rolled that way. "Naruto..what if he goes to jail or something? How old are you now? Sakura had never knew how old Naruto was. She was eighteen now but was he? She knew Kakashi had to be at least in his mid to late twenties maybe older since she had never seen his face she didn't know. She suddenly became very angry and slapped Kakashi. She screamed at him "how DARE you take advantage of Naruto!?" Kakashi jumped back defintaly not expecting that. He rubbed his cheek. "um...ow? What was that for?" he looked at her funny. "Naruto! Tell me! Is sensei bothering you?!" she looked at Naruto. "If he is I can get rid of him." she glared at Kakashi and he rolled his eyes.
